hey its my first time in this chat i am 19 weeks and 2 days i am so excited! i couldn't wait to get pregnant i used to do tests just randomly always wishing! have you had bad morning sickness? i still get it?!

**silja** · 29-07-2007, 11:48

I've been lucky with the mornign sickness- I had a few days of really bad nausea and some dry heaving, but never actually vomitting. I think it's at least partially due to eating all the time, and also taking a B Viamin complex in the mornings (B 6 is supposed to help against nausea).

gaeilgegrinds · 29-07-2007, 13:28

Is there something wrong that I haven't had morning sickness? I'm eating like a horse!

**silja** · 29-07-2007, 19:42

Nah gaeilgegrinds, you were just lucky! Most, but not all women get m/s.

Shelli · 29-07-2007, 21:22

I was blessed, I had a couple of hours of feeling ill spread out over the first few months, most of the time I didn't feel pregnany at all as I had no symptoms whatsoever. It was quite worrying at times, even though it's quite normal, I kept thinking something was wrong becuase I wasn't feeling any of the little things that let you know your pregnant, no sore boobs, no sickness, nothing.

Can't mistake it now though...not when you can't see your feet over the huge bump!

Due tomorrow...can someone please tell my son that his lease is up!

I was the exact same - infact it was the prmanent hunger that was the first indication for me. I swear I was like a Hobbitt 2 breakfasts and dinners at leas every day!!

Shelli · 30-07-2007, 22:40

Me too, I ate like a horse...and still managed to lose weight in the first trimester, doc even thought it was unusual. Made up for it late on though, I look like an egg with legs at the moment.

ArthurDent · 30-07-2007, 23:59

On my third i had m/s the whole way through - until the morning I delivered and I only put on 7 lbs altogether and delivered a 9lb 3 oz baby!! But i could eat for ireland the whole way through!

**silja** · 31-07-2007, 08:50

I had the "pregnancy talk" with my boss in work yesterday, which as kinda funny- he is lovely, but very gay, and kept saying if I'd prefer to talk to a woman could talk to my boss' boss' boss (who I hardly know and has no kids....). Upshot of the talk is that we will be hiring my maternity leave replacement in early November, to be ready to take over by the end of November, in case I have to leave work early or go on restricted duties (I work in event management, so the holiday season is our busiest, and it involves lots of standing and dealing with angry, stressful customers). It's nice I won't have to worry about that, as I do like my job and didn't want to let them down.

Elen · 31-07-2007, 14:42

Hey girls! I am just back from my two weeks holidays. Had a very relaxing time and now ready for the last trimester!

I had my appointment in hospital yesterday and all is well. My supossed SPD is a loooot better. I have an appointment with the physio this week, and lets see what she says.

I will be 28 weeks on Friday! I am sooo looking forward to October.

Thats good to hear, I had a touch of that for a while, tis a nasty painful thing.

Well i'm still hangin on in there, looks like it'll be an august babs after all!

Elen · 01-08-2007, 09:20

Shelli,

It looks like your baby is a bit too confy there.
Are you getting impacient? I heard that when they are overdue mamis get very nervous...
It could happen any time!

Shelli · 01-08-2007, 11:27

Extremely impatient, had a lovely day yesterday though, got up and went for a walk in the morning sun about 7am, then came back and had some brekkie and pottered around for a while. My and my OH then went walking the the Botanic Gardens for around an hour, the sun was fab, then had some lunch with my mam and went for a drive. Still no movement though.

I don't mind him being a bit late....must be taking after his daddy who is so laid back and late for everything

I just really want to avoid being induced, but I've been told they will wait until I'm 14days over so fingers crossed he'll make his apprearance before then!

On the SPD, if you feel it's coming back make sure to ask to see your physio straight away, not sure what hospital your going to but the physiotherapy dept in Holles St is very good.

Elen · 01-08-2007, 15:30

Shelli, I am in Holls. I am actually just back from an appointment and it went really well. They have given me a support belt and my God, it makes such a difference! walking with it is like if someone was carrying your belly!
I have to go back in a couple of weeks and they are going to let me know about delivery, as there are certain postures that are better than others.

I believe they do not induce until 2 weeks after, so it is good cos I am sure the little one will be out before.
I believe induced labours are a lot harder

Nevyn · 01-08-2007, 15:42

I didnt' find that to be the case but it did find it a lot quicker.

It depends on how it is induced there are a list of things they will try before putting in the drip.

They will removed the plug at the neck of the womb to see if that will start labour,
they will break the waters to see if that will bring on labour as well as a few other things.

I went 13 days over on my second child what really hot july 7 years ago and cried with relief when I was told that I was going to be giving birth the next day.

I was admited to the induction ward in the rotunda at 8:30 and put in my nightdress and a signed a bed. There were 8 other over mammys in the ward,
one had to have a section as the baby was in breach position ie trying to come out arse first.

They broke my waters by 9:45am and waited and nothing happened.
This worked for two of the women so now there was 5 of us still waiting.

By 11am I was on the drip which contains a chemical which is the same as the hormoane the body produces to make the womb contract.

The dosage on it was upped every 15 mins to get labour to start.
by noon there were two of us left and by 1 pm I only one sill in the the ward.

I have a prety high pain tolerance and while I was having contractions they were not what i considered painful. I was put on a contraction monitor
and the midwife looked at me puzzled as to why I was not finding it painfil as they were hitting a 6 on the scale.

By 1:25pm I was deep brething and saying 'ooooouuuuuuuuuchhhhhiiieeeeee'
and the midwife said good that one was a 9 on the scale time to get you to delivery room.

I was asses upon arival and was found tobe 4 cm dialated and then sortly after had a short burst eipdural administered.

By 4:20pm my daughter was born by normal vaginal delivery, but I had need an episiotmy but i had need one with my first as well.

Over all the duration of the labour was shorter but I found it less grueling then
the 8 hours of instensive labour I had with my first.
